Not my favorite Mary Roach novel. Still amazing, I mean it is Mary Roach. I just felt like she could only be a spectator, a reporter for this book, whereas, in so many of her other books she is a huge participant. She did participate when she could, this is Mary, but due to a lot of it being military and government stuff, a lot of the time, she could only tell us other people's stories. Still an amazing book. Mad props to the men and women of the Armed Service and all those who support them, whether it be, family, friends and community, or the unseen volunteers, body donors, janitors, food service personnel and everyone else in between. We get to sleep easier because they all do their job. Thank you all for making my life better.
